BleakestH · 14-07-2005 06:49PM

Can't wait for this!

Dathai · 15-07-2005 11:22PM

Sexual, very sexual indeed.Lets hope it wont be a turn out like In Flames' Soundtrack to your escape, where they totally went nu-metal.

Kare Bear · 15-07-2005 11:30PM

There on roadrunner now.

John · 16-07-2005 12:10PM

John2 is happy

So?

God forbid one of the best Metal bands today should get the promotion & support they deserve...
If they're not struggling to support their families with a part time job as well as the band they're sell outs right?

Pet · 18-07-2005 12:12AM

I don't think Opeth are the sort of band that are going to cave to roadrunner's demands. Besides, the Dresden Dolls are on roadrunner, and it hasn't affected their music at all.

Pet is also happy.

Le Rack · 21-07-2005 08:30PM

ARe they playing Ireland, are they playing ireland are they playing ireland???

cournioni · 22-07-2005 11:09PM

Hopefully... No one knows for sure yet.

BleakestH · 26-07-2005 01:15PM

Just heard the full thing. Album of the year.

evad_lhorg · 28-07-2005 12:30PM

i am also loving it.

herobear · 28-07-2005 03:31PM

yup its fairly good alright!

nosmo · 28-07-2005 06:57PM

Average.

fortuneg · 28-07-2005 07:58PM

I'm really enjoying it, love the unusual (for Opeth at least) vocal melodies in the 1st & 2nd songs & Atonement is really cool, & quite unusual (again, for Opeth).

Ruaidhri · 29-07-2005 01:17PM

tis damned good

well what do you expect from opeth?

Doctor J · 29-07-2005 01:53PM

According to a Roadrunner spokesperson, OPETH drummer Martin Lopez has not been fired, but rather, went back to Sweden for treatment of a rare blood disorder he's had for most of his life.

Until he returns, the band — currently on the Sounds Of The Underground tour — has enlisted STRAPPING YOUNG LAD drummer Gene Hoglan to fill in for him.

Heard the new one too, meh, I hope it's a grower, big Tool rip off riff in it though

nosmo · 29-07-2005 02:06PM

QUIT PLAYIN' GAMES WITH MY HEART!

yes, image doesn't make the band, but Roadrunner seem to be going for a more.. "friendly?" image

Doctor J · 29-07-2005 02:08PM

Do you think RR or the photographer suggested one of them take his shoes off - help them shift a few units to the shoeless?

Oh god! The Opeth I know and love appear to be dead. They look so dejected. Bring back those blurred shots of them standing in a forest, that's the Opeth image, not sub-NIN moody but well-lit photography.

Mystic Fibrosis · 30-07-2005 01:11AM

Martin Lopez looks disturbingly like Head (ex-Korn) there. And Martin no. 2 looks like he's faking some faux black metal or something.

Think you've your Martin's mixed up!

nadir · 30-07-2005 03:13PM

excellent, I must buy a copy of this.

John · 31-07-2005 01:33AM

Hang on, I've just noticed there's five people in that picture. Who the **** is the other guy!?!

Doctor J · 31-07-2005 09:03AM

The full-time keyboard player. John, where have you been?

John · 31-07-2005 02:25PM

He's full time? I knew they got one for the last album but I remember he only played like one gig with them. Well that clears that one up.

Mystic Fibrosis · 31-07-2005 11:33PM

Think you've your Martin's mixed up!

Oops. You're right

I meant Martin Mendez.

dabhoys · 01-08-2005 10:21AM

Anyword of an irish gig???

Just one word so far: No.

dabhoys · 01-08-2005 01:13PM

Well poop that, just had a listen to the album. Enjoying it all the same

Matthewthebig · 01-08-2005 02:07PM

they ripped off Tool!

I likes the album though. Not as much as others. But sure it should growon me

evad_lhorg · 05-08-2005 11:20AM

you still havnt explained how they ripped off tool.

ok now im pissed they amnnounced a load more european dates in november and december and is there an irish date? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :mad:

Matthewthebig · 05-08-2005 11:22AM

first track on the album about a minute in, a tool riff. cant remember which song though

Doctor J · 05-08-2005 11:25AM

There is a riff on Ghosts Of Perdition which is hugely reminiscent of a riff on The Grudge, to the extent where you think to yourself "Hey that's a Tool riff!"

Behold, the video for The Grand Conjuration which, I believe, has the mighty Gene Hoglan filling in on drums. 41mb, so broadband only

Mystic Fibrosis · 02-09-2005 03:15PM

Suits you sir

Le Rack · 02-09-2005 04:36PM

excellent!

grimloch · 02-09-2005 04:40PM

Listening to the album now, seems allright from my quick playing of it but I rarely like an album first listen for soem reason.

Le Rack · 02-09-2005 05:10PM

you going if they get confirmed?

grimloch · 02-09-2005 05:12PM

Well I was foolish and missed them last time and thats a huge regret, I'd prefer not to miss them again tbh but any number of things could pop in.

Call it a definate maybe.

This album is growing on me a little. I quite like it now.

Ramses · 02-09-2005 07:03PM

after many listens I have decided that this is yet another great opeth album and deserves much praise. 9/10

ripping off tool - nonsense!

Thanks Doc, downloading it now!

I have to say, I really love the new Opeth album. Sounds really fresh altogether, if you know what I mean. Deliverance really sounded very stale, it sounded like they were just going through the numbers, whereas Ghost Reveries seems to have really added to the sound altogether.

yeah, they're playing Brummie (Birmingham) on September 13th, and tickets are around £12 or £13 I think, and there was talk of them coming over here while they're at it!
